5 bedroom detached house for sale

A spacious farmhouse with over 2000 sq ft of internal space and a plot of around 3.7 acres in this attractive East Yorkshire village. The property has been much improved by the current owners and also benefits from planning permission for a Children’s Residential Home (Class C2). There is also planning permission for a separate 2 bedroom detached bungalow just to the west of the current house. Whether for personal use, as a smallholding, use by a multi-generational family or use as a children’s home, this great property will have significant appeal and an early viewing is highly recommended.

This lovely detached house of over 2000 sq ft enjoys a large plot of around 3.7 acres. Much is fenced and used as a paddock but there is also a significant gravelled hardstanding area around the property, a detached garage and 3 car ports. An area of land just to the west of the house benefits from planning permission for the construction of a two bedroom detached bungalow 12/2/204 (valid for 3 years). The current owners have also gained planning permission for conversion of the property to a Children’s Home (C2 Class) with spaces for 4 children 1/8/2024 (valid for 3 years). The property has been much improved by the current owners and modernised with a view to being used as a children’s home. An owner occupier will still benefit from much of the modernisation but is likely to want to adapt things cosmetically for personal use. The improvements include new uPVC windows and doors, a new gas central heating system, a new sewerage treatment plant as well as a new kitchen and updated sanitaryware. Much of the work has been completed though there is some more to do. A change of plans has led to the property being offered for sale. The accommodation comprises (for how it might be used a private home): an Entrance Hall, Snug, Office, a huge 600+sq ft L-shaped Living, Dining and Kitchen area with an island to the kitchen area and a range of fitted units, Utility Room and WC Cloaks/Shower Room. To the first floor is a spacious Landing, two large Double Bedrooms (1 en suite) a further Double Bedroom and two good sized Single Bedrooms as well as a Bathroom and separate WC. The property is reached by a private driveway from Humber Lane which opens onto an extensive area of gravelled car hardstanding. To the east side of the house there is a garage and attached 3 bay carport. The rest of the plot is a fenced-off paddock which lies to both the east and south of the house.

This appealing property will have a range of different angles that will be of interest to various buyers. It is offered with no forward chain and an early internal inspection is highly advised. We do have a 360 degree tour available which will provide an excellent insight in the first instance.
